CONTRACTOR PROCEDURES

Contractor ID Badges may only be issued for approved Airport construction projects. Contractors will be required to provide Airport Security with a copy of an approved Wayne County Construction and Alteration Permit (C & A Permit), CIP Project Letter or MDOT letter before accessing the construction site.

All individuals who enter a Security Sensitive Area must have in their possession a valid Airport Identification Badge. Persons with a valid photo ID Badge will be allowed unescorted access to construction sites in Security Sensitive Areas of the Airport. Individuals with non-photo ID Badges must be escorted at all times by someone with a photo ID Badge with Escort Authority. (This escort is required when moving to and from a Restricted Area or AOA construction site and while on the site). Ramp Drivers Safety Training is required prior to being authorized approval to drive on the AOA. Contact Airfield Operations at 734-942-3823 to schedule training.

Contractor Information Sheet

The contractor or sub-contractor must complete the Contractor Information Sheet (PDF FILE). The information provided will permit the Airport Credentials Office to properly track contractor access and Badging requirements.

As part of identifying which contractors are involved in each contract, the Prime Contractor must provide a list identifying all sub-contractors under the project (In the case of the Prime Contractor, the tenant the prime is providing service to shall provide an introduction letter identifying the company as the Prime Contractor and authorization for access.). It is the responsibility of the Prime Contractor to update this information as additional subs are added to the project (Badging for the sub-contractors may not be processed until all information is provided.)

Complete the top portion of the Form and have the airline/tenant you are working for complete the bottom portion of the Form. This will allow the individuals listed on the form to authorize issuance of badges on behalf of the tenant or airline you are working for. It is the responsibility of the “Authorizing Signer” to verify that information on the application is correct and that the applicant is a current employee of the company and requires an Airport Photo ID.

All vehicles must display a Vehicle Pass at all times while operating on the AOA or Restricted Area. These Passes are issued by the Airport Credentials Office. Please see the Vehicle Permits tab at the top of page for additional information.
